Devin Williams had been recruited by West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins and assistant coach Erik Martin since his 9th grade year, so there was obviously some familiarity between the parties. And it's those relationships that were forged that led to Williams inking his letter of intent with the Mountaineers during the early signing period.

Williams, a Cincinnati, Ohio, native, grew up watching the Huggins led Bearcat teams and although other schools were in the mix, it eventually came back to his overall comfort level.
